CALL FOR PAPERS

Information-centric networking (ICN) is a new network architecture that provides the access to named data as first-order network service, providing better trust in data authenticity and greater potential for optimizing forwarding behavior compared to traditional host-based communication systems like the Internet today.

The ICN principle of accessing authenticated named data in the network enables several optimizations, such as network-layer data caching, flexible multipath communication and simplified mobility management. ICN thus addresses many important requirements of applications such as high-performance, scalable media data distribution and reliable distributed Internet of Things networks.

ICN is an active research area that includes specific topics such as network architectures, applications, transport, and caching techniques. Security is a particularly important topic since ICN enables new approaches with respect to confidentiality, access control and trust management that we want to address by this Feature Topic.
Solicited topics include (but are not limited to):

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology community. They should be written in a tutorial style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Mathematical equations should not be used (in justified cases up to three simple equations are allowed). Articles should not exceed 4500 words (from introduction through conclusions, excluding figures, tables and captions). Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. The number of archival references is recommended not to exceed 15. In some rare cases, more mathematical equations, figures, and tables may be allowed, if well-justified. In general, however, mathematics should be avoided; instead, references to papers containing the relevant mathematics should be provided. Complete guidelines for preparation of the manuscripts are posted at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. Please submit a PDF (preferred) or MSWORD formatted paper via Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee). Register or log in, and go to Author Center. Follow the instructions there. Select "July 2018 / Information-Centric Networking Security" as the Feature Topic category for your submission.
